Need of a Sure Corn Cure"

ANY man who wants to make a quick
and certain fortune, - observed q Broad
way druggist the other day. can do it
by %inventing a sure cure for corns 1t
doesn't matter how many there are,
there's always room for one more.
Corns are a universal weakness of the
American people. There isn't a day that
l do not have calls for corn cures from
anywhere from so to 100 men, women,
girls and boys
lis there any actual sure cure for
corns?" / asked him.
That depends" said he, There is
hardly a remedy that would not remove
corns if the people who use it did not
wear shoes. The trouble is that while
they are doctoring the corn they are CON
tinuing the friction and pressure that
originally produced it. But, whether
they cure or not, the good remedies, if
properly applied, keep the corn from in
creasing or hardening and reduce its an
noyance to a minimum. There are hun
dreds of people who employ a chiropo-
dist by the year at a contract price, and il
is his duty to keep their corns pared down
and their feet in order. The corn cures
enable people who cannot afford this
luxury to care for their own toes with
little waste of time or trouble. ALFRED

Nobody who is acquainted with the
progress of scientific thinking i'll every
department of human knowledge, in the
course of the last two centuries, will be
disposed to deny that immense provinces
have been added to the realm of science,
or to doubt that the next two centuries
will be witnesses of a vastly greater an
nexation. More particularly in the re-
gion of the physiology of the nervous
system is it justifiable to conclude from
the progress that has been made in anal
yzing the relations between material and
psychical phenomena that vast further
advances will be made, and that sooner
or later all the so called spontaneous oper-
ations of the mind will have, not only
their relations to n another, but their
relations to physical phenomena, con-
nected in natural series of causes and eff
fects, strictly defined. In other words.
while at present we know only the nearer
moicty of the chain of causes and effects
by which the phenomena we call mate
rial give rise to those which we call men
tai, hereafter we shall get to the further
end of the series. -Huxley in Fortnightly
Review.

With all its bOasted excellence in manu-
features the western world has still some
thing to learn from the east. Neither
Sheffield nor Birmingham, with all their
skill, are able to turn out a sword blade
which can begin to compare with the
wonderful sabers of Japan. For iineness
OF temper and keenness OF edge they are
unequaled i'll the modern world, and can
scarcely be matched by the blades for
merly forged in Damascus and Toledo.
a common feat for a Japanese soldier is
to cut a pig iii two at a single blow; and
l have seen bars of lead, and even of iron,
divided by these weapons without notch
or imperfection being visible on the blade.
While not possessing the marvellous dex-
terity of the Sikh swordsman, the Japan
ese would be most formidable adversaries
in hand-to-hand fighting.
On the occasion of the murder of Rich
ardson and his party, a fate which, by
the way, they brought on themselves, u
II horse hind leg was completely severed
from the body by a stroke from one OF
the terrible two-handed swords. Asword
of superior excellence is preserved as en-
heirloom in the Satsuma family, and with
this blade | have seen a leaf floating on
the stream cut in two by merely being al
lowed to drift against the edge. The
Japanese understand the tempering of
sword blades better han any other people,
and all the efforts made by the British
government a short time ago to produce
as fine an article failed utterly. Toxic

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off OF revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers as well us %reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's
August Fiouer and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction Of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one,fifth more medi-
cine in the rs cent size. The .Au0ust
Florer for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps the
largest sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage Of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.
